Rome Redux

In 1919, Joseph Schumpteter described ancient Rome in a way that sounds eerily like the United States...:

"There was no corner of the known world where some interest was not alleged to be in danger or under actual attack. If the interests were not Roman, they were those of Rome's allies; and if Rome had no allies, the allies would be invented. When it was utterly impossible to contrive such an interest -- why, then it was the national honor that had been insulted. The fight was always invested with an aura of legality. Rome was always being attacked by evil-minded neighbors. The whole world was pervaded by a host of enemies, it was manifestly Rome's duty to guard against their indubitably aggressive designs."

War on Americans, the Next Chapter

20 years ago the US declared war on the people of Afghanistan, wrongfully blaming them for the attacks in New York and Washington, DC.

On Sept. 9th President Biden declared war on 80,000,000 Americans, wrongfully blaming them for a virus.

20 years ago Congress destroyed the Bill of Rights, using terrorism as an excuse.

Today humans in the USA and around the world are being forced into a new Dark Ages, a time of complete totalitarian takeover.

The time of the takeover of the religious feudal lords was a huge reset to the pagans of Europe. They lost their commons and their religion, and millions of them were killed for resisting.

The new corporate totalitarians are going beyond their massive wealth and power grab, also destroying human connections, including family connections.

"Give me the child and I will show you the man" said Ignacious Loyola. The German leader of the 30s said something similar, but referring to his words will bring down GlobalCorp censorship.

They are going after the children now. How many people will stand up and fight for the children? President Biden has declared war on me, because the agenda calls for complete and total submission to their plans. I didn't ask to be attacked, but neither did the people of Afghanistan. And the people cheering it on are the same kind of people I opposed in 2001, 2003 and 2011, mindless slurpers of propaganda, unable to step out of the matrix and think for themselves, smugly convinced of their righteousness, as much as any Crusader of the past.

GlobalCorp doesn't care who they smash, or what they destroy of value, whether Middle East antiquities, small town businesses, or family ties and healthy childhood development. I refuse to be a collaborator with such pure greed and malevolence.

Lack of Privacy Is NOT Protection

My parents were atheists, so I never grew up with religion.

My next door neighbors went to a church down the street for a couple of months, when we were kids, and what they learned there shocked me!

The way they told it, there was an angel spy assigned to me, whose job it was to watch everything I did, and put it in a big book, one page for ''good'' things and one page for ''bad'' things.

I was outraged! WTF? Where was my right to privacy? (This was pre-Snowden, obviously). But even back then, I felt that I had a right to be ignored by the authorities, and that they had no right to spy on me.

When I was an adult and met my husband,( who was brought up Catholic), he explained to me the concept of a ''guardian angel''. See, he was taught that the angel spying on him was a Good Thing, that the angel was there to protect him and keep him safe.

I wonder if that is why so few people are outraged by the pervasive and invasive spying by our rulers.
